Living with a new step-parent can be challenging, especially when they try to take over every aspect of the household. One 15-year-old girl is experiencing this firsthand, as her stepdad has decided he’s uncomfortable with her keeping her pads and p***y liners out in the open in her own bathroom. But this strong-willed teen isn’t backing down, standing her ground and refusing to hide her ‘womanly products’ just to appease her stepdad. What follows is a classic showdown between a rebellious teen and an overbearing stepdad.
